It would be the most effective way to have government take care of social problems and hazardous material danger due to odor. It is also well known that odor acceptance and their willingness to pay for resolving the odor problem vary person by person. This is why public sector's intervention is required to get ride of any possibility of market failure resulted from negative external effect of human. This paper has tried to do empirical research based on survey of residents who are currently living in the area of Ochang industrial complex in North Chong-chung province. According to the empirical research results, first of all, it was proven residents' perception of legal regulation has a negative effect on odor acceptance. That is, the more residents are aware of law and regulation, the less they tend to accept odor. In addition, resident's perception on need to improve odor regulation has a positive impact on their odor acceptance. Finally, residents' satisfaction on the legal complaints to local government has an interaction effect to causative relationship between the perception of improving odor regulation and odor acceptance.

To develop a crab-like flavorant from snow crab cooker effluent (SCCE, $20^{\circ}Brix$), optimal reaction conditions were determined using response surface methodology (RSM) combined with reaction flavoring technology (RFT). Using five variables (proline, glycine, arginine, methionine, fructose), RSM based on a five-level central composite design was applied to evaluate sensory acceptance (odor, taste, and overall acceptance) as dependent variables. A model equation obtained from RSM showed 0.88 of R-square for odor, 0.90 for taste, and 0.95 for overall acceptance with 0.07 lack of fit in overall acceptance (P<0.05). Odor score (predicted value) was 7.21 in the saddle point. Optimal flavoring conditions for making a crab-like flavorant were as follows: addition of 0.29 g of proline, 0.63 g of glycine, 0.61 g of arginine, 0.02 g of methionine, and 1.07 g% (w/v) of fructose into SCCE with RFT (90 min at $130^{\circ}C$). Odor score obtained under optimal conditions was 7.56, which was higher than the predicted value.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of madeleines prepared using varying amounts of roasted black soybean flour (RBF). The RBF was used to substitute 0% (control group), 20% (RBF-20 group), 40% (RBF-40 group) and 60% (RBF-60 group) of weak flour (WF) in the manufacture of madeleine. The substitution of WF with RBF showed decreased the pH but increased the sugar concentration of the batter (p<0.01). Low lightness (L) and low yellowness (b) were observed in the experimental groups at high ratios of RBF substitution (p<0.05). The experimental groups of madeleines showed higher hardness and chewiness than the control group (p<0.001). The principal component analysis of the RBF-60 experimental group, which had the highest proportion of RBF, showed that it had relatively strong characteristics with respect to "darkness", "soybean odor", "sesame odor", "grains odor", "savory flavor", "sweetness", "black soybean taste", and "moistness". The acceptance test results, showed that the RBF-20 experimental group was similar to the control group with respect to "odor acceptance", "taste acceptance", and "texture acceptance". Thus, this study confirmed the possibility of using RBF for the preparation of madeleines.

This study evaluated the sensory characteristics of sauerkraut prepared by adding 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5% (w/w) sea salt to cabbage. The quantitative descriptive analysis (QDA) and acceptance test of sauerkraut were determined for each salt concentration, and the principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least square regression (PLSR) analysis were performed to confirm the correlation between each factor. Results of the QDA determined 14 descriptive terms; furthermore, brightness and yellowness of appearance and the sour, salty, and bitter flavors differed significantly according to the salt concentration. Results from the PCA explained 22.56% PC1 and 65.34% PC2 of the total variation obtained. Sauerkraut prepared using 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5% sea salt had high brightness, moistness, sour odor, green odor, sour flavor, carbonation, hardness, chewiness, and crispness, whereas sauerkraut prepared with 2.0 and 2.5% sea salt had high yellowness, glossiness, salty flavor, sweet flavor, and bitter flavor. Hierarchical cluster analysis classified the products into two clusters: sauerkraut of 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5%, and sauerkraut of 2.0 and 2.5%. Results of PLSR determined that sauerkraut of 1.0 and 1.5% were the closest to texture, taste, and overall acceptance. We, therefore, conclude that sauerkrauts prepared using 1.0 and 1.5% sea salt have excellent characteristics in appearance, taste, and texture.

We investigated the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of oriental melon (Cucumis melo L.) to provide a consumer-oriented quality index. Oriental melon fruits were harvested at 20, 25, or 30 days after fruit set (DAFS), and each group was sorted by size (small, medium, and large). Fruits harvested at 25 and 30 DAFS had higher CIE $a^*$ and $b^*$ values, higher soluble solids content (SSC), and lower CIE $L^*$, firmness, and titratable acidity (TA) values than fruits harvested at 20 DAFS. Fruits harvested at 25 and 30 DAFS scored more highly for overall acceptance. A significant correlation was found between physicochemical characteristics and overall acceptance. In the delayed-harvest sample, increased sweetness and yellowness, and decreased sensorial texture were associated with an increase in overall acceptance. In principal component analysis, F1 and F2 explained 62.16% and 17.91% of the total variance (80.07%), respectively. Regression analysis of overall acceptance and F1 gave a coefficient of determination ($r^2$) of 0.87. Our results show that consideration of the physicochemical characteristics (CIE value, SSC, pH, SSC/TA ratio, and firmness) and sensory characteristics (yellowness, placenta area condition, oriental melon odor, sweetness, oriental melon flavor, texture, and off odor) of oriental melon in this way can be used as quality indices to predict consumer acceptance.

The physical characteristics of gluten-free rice bread, commercial rice as well as wheat bread marketed in Korea were delineated, a sensory descriptive analysis performed, and a consumer acceptability study conducted. Both the specific gravity and color of gluten-free rice bread were higher than those of commercial rice and wheat bread. The sensory descriptive analysis revealed that the adhesiveness, fracturability, fermentation odor, and the powdery mouthfeel of gluten-free rice bread were higher than those of commercial rice and wheat bread. In contrast, the sweet odor, sweetness, egg taste, butter taste, and milk taste of gluten-free rice bread were lower than those of commercial rice and wheat bread. The consumer acceptability results revealed differences regarding odor, appearance, taste, texture, and overall acceptance between a blind test and an informed test of gluten-free rice bread, commercial rice, and wheat bread. The consumer acceptability findings were associated with those of the sensory descriptive analysis. In overall, the results indicated that the quality of gluten-free rice bread can be improved by controlling the decrease of adhesiveness, fracturability, and powdery mouthfeel.
